Hang in there.

2009-10-07T00:04:00.000+08:00

I don't know how long more I can last.
Though it's just a couple of months to go.
Yet it just keeps coming back.
No matter how hard I try to push it aside.
This feeling.
This feeling I abhor.
I'm tired. So tired. I KNOW I'm tired.
But I just can't stop. I can't.

i don't like it.

2009-09-15T01:05:00.001+08:00

I don't like it.

....

I just don't like it.

Up and Da Vinci!

2009-08-07T23:48:00.000+08:00

FINALLY i got to go to the Da Vinci exhibition at science centre yesterday. HURRAY! (: it was truly inspirational, i seriously cannot imagine, a man at that time could produce such great inventions! and what was more, he was a master in almost everything!! flight, anatomy, art... like zomg! unimginable! whats MORE stunning was that, he wrote all his notes in mirror image because he didnt go to school and wasnt corrected. like WTH?! WHO WOULD DO THAT. and after that exhibition, i would never look at mona lisa painting the same way again.

Truly amazing. Amazing enough to make me miss the demo for Tezla Coil in the science centre itself AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ):

I watched UP today! omg i had to fight for seats with those secondary school kids because of their half day at school (cant believe i was one of those people hanging out at cine last time).

Anyway, the show was AWESOME! (: what i liked about it was the fact that they not only had action (which means climax) in the movie, but also injected some humour AND romance into it, it's just SO SWEEEET i almost dropped a tear.

I dont wanna be a spoiler, but please, do catch it!!

On another note, OMG I CANNOT BELEIVE SCHOOL IS STARTING IN 3DAYS. SIGH

CORS.

2009-08-06T01:52:00.001+08:00

SCREW CORS.

no actually i need to screw myself for such lousy planning. URGH.

transform!

2009-07-12T00:49:00.004+08:00

it was absolutely AWESOME!
the cars were deadly gorgeous.
just that i thought transformers could only take metal form, the human form of a hot girl wasn't really all convincing. hmm.

but well, still totally worth my $10, im glad i caught it (:

E6

2009-07-06T00:56:00.003+08:00

Ethelonter ichiban sa sa bo jio waseh.
Ethelonter ichiban sa sa bo jio waseh.
Ethelonter ichiban sa sa bo jio waseh.

Ethelonter ichiban sa sa bo jio waseh.
Ethelonter ichiban sa sa bo jio waseh!!

E6 has come to an end, just in a blink of an eye. couldn't believe that the planning started all the way back in december, and here we are, at the end of ethelonter having lunches & dinner with OC, with councillors & various groups.

even though i didnt manage to join my group for most of their activities because im the log head & was running around during the camp, even though i was only surviving on only at most 2hours of sleep every night, even though my muscles were aching and calling out for help, what matters most is that i truly enjoyed the camp, and looking at how all the programmes were conducted smoothly, looking at the smiles on the freshies' faces, all my hard work and all my sweat have been worth it (:

another chapter closed. well done E6! (:

dance dance.

2009-06-12T20:48:00.000+08:00

"PKA consists of 2 regulatory subunits & 2 catalytic subunits or R2C2 in short."

"Please do not confuse this R2C2 with R2D2 okay. R2C2 is PKA whereas R2D2 is a character in Star Wars"

HAHA omg what an entertaining lecturer! hahahah 先生はおもしろいですね～！

F1 GP

2008-10-12T23:48:00.004+08:00

Alonso has done it again in Fuji Japan! total disbelief. he was 4th on the grid somemore! poor Hamilton, crashed into Massa :D i'm just glad Raikkonen & Massa managed to clinch some points for Ferrari after the tragedy in Singapore. heh

I'm so irritated by the fact that Mediacorp doesn't telecast the Grand Prix in Fuji, besides Starhub where you have to PAY.

TSK.

marathon.

2008-08-30T23:38:00.007+08:00

school now is like running a marathon at Olympics.

All the competitors start from the same starting point, have almost equal amts of training, experience, and physical strength. Towards the end of the race, it all boils down to the differing levels of mental strength that sets apart one competitor from another.

there are those with high mental strengths who will be ahead and some eventually winning the race, breaking some record. there are those who are trying their best to keep up to the pace set by those ahead, all they probably ask for is not a new world record but for a new personal best. but there are also those who are mentally weaker/weak who will eventually find it hard to keep up, slow down, fall far behind and even give up on running the race.

sad but this is how school goes. performance is not based on own ability, but relative to how others perform.

i am running this 4month long marathon and am through with 3 weeks.

MENTAL STRENGTH IS KEY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GD!

2008-08-18T00:07:00.004+08:00

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY KWON JI-YONG! (:

i'm sorry but his smiles are ever so contagious :D

school and olympics!

2008-08-15T00:14:00.002+08:00

Olympics just has to happen at this time of the year isn't it! when school has just started. and what's worse, i love to watch the swimming events and finals are ALWAYS held in the morning when i have lessons! how irritating. though i must say Phelps is incredible. his swims are always so sensational! i am so impressed.

sigh, school is back. again. holidays felt like nothing at all. but still im rather glad i took up special sem. lol. in any case, i can foresee a mad sem ahead. as usual!

so long! (:

hair-pulling time.

2008-07-26T02:13:00.002+08:00

i am very stressed.

a CA worth 30% on tues

a 10 page lab report on some immunoprecipitation shit worth 40% due on thurs.

it's a hair-pulling and teeth-gritting 5days.

it will all be over soon. 5 days.

SHERLYNN, HWAITING!

new love.

2008-07-09T00:26:00.000+08:00

i am SO hooked to this song right now! :D

thickskinned!

2008-07-06T10:47:00.006+08:00

AYE Sua! i suddenly realised what your tag meant!
were you trying to say that i shouldn't be that awestruck by meeting those celebrities because i'm already good friends with Xun and you?
so you think you both are celebs just because you both were from Entropy la? tsktsk.
hahaha thats so thick-skinned la! :p

get smart.

2008-07-02T23:26:00.002+08:00

so worth it for $6 student rate ticket! woohoo!

the world, or rather Singapore is so bloody small today! Jingx and i met SO many random people today! :D friends aside, but the one that got me all excited was that when we alighted from the MRT at Bugis, i saw this guy wearing all black with a black cap, on the phone and looking down. but still i got to see half his face and what shocked me was his striking similarity to the singer JJ Lin, and i thought to myself "wow that guy must try to get on some variety show that has the look alike section in it!"

and when he boarded the train as we alighted, i was trying desperately to get Jingx's attention to look at him. i kept telling her "eh eh eh that guy looks totally like JJ Lin la!" and i guess i was abit too loud and he heard me. he lifted his head and gave me a nod to clear my doubt. HE IS REALLY JJ LIN. SHOOOOOOT! and when i finally got the msg across to Jingx, we both turned to the train door to see him standing there as the door closed. he was looking straight and below that cap, HE IS REALLY JJ LIN! WOAH LAUUUU!

we actually missed the chance of a free autograph and a photo! CRAP! should've just called him "hey hey JJ! we're your juniors from SAJC! WAITTTT!" but it was too late. oh well! still, it was rather surprising that he actually took public transport and not like a cab or something. something a popular celebrity would probably do. hahaha.

and then at Marina we met the Channel U celeb Ah Ben. not bad ah, he looks rather cute in person. hahaha. but oh well, our lucky streak with celebrities ended with him. still, WHATS WITH TODAY MAN! :D

i still can't get over the fact i got to see JJ so upclose. and HE LOOKED STRAIGHT INTO MY FACE. lol!

garbage.

2008-06-27T23:59:00.001+08:00

love the ones who treat you right

and forget the ones who don't

because they are just not worth it

You Don't Mess With Zohan

2008-06-21T22:10:00.006+08:00

damn lame. hahaha.

random window shopping will tempt you to spend more money. bad. i've already spent alot. bad!

it's time to prepare myself, oil my engine again & stock up on my brain cells.

life.

2008-06-20T09:55:00.004+08:00

somehow i realise that schooling is still the best time of life.
imagine waking up to the same old routine everyday.
breakfast, work, lunch, work, dinner, TV, sleep, REPEAT.
and there's no freedom at all! you can't just leave early to go out or what.
because if you do without a proper reason you're bound to face nonsense from your superior or management or something.
it's not like in school where you've a choice whether to pon that particular lecture to go out because in any case whether you go or not it's your business and whether you fail the module or not it's totally your life.
no nonsense, no explanations needed and no responsibilities and nobody to report to but yourself.
oh well, i guess as we grow older we will have greater responsibilities and our actions will not only impact ourselves but implicate others as well.

this is life isn't it? :D

so yes i will treasure my schooling days before it's too late. no matter how sucky it gets and no matter how heavy the workload is and no matter how many times i lament about school and schoolwork. it IS still the best afterall.

new favourite old song.

2008-06-10T23:59:00.005+08:00

i don't know what's gotten into me but i'm starting to re-love several old songs. i just hope it's not a sign of ageing LOL.

this is my top new favourite old song.

新不了情

翻唱: 萧敬腾

Original Singer: 万芳

心若倦了泪也干了

这份深情难舍难了

曾经拥有天荒地老

已不见你暮暮与朝朝

这一份情永远难了

愿来生还能再度拥抱

爱一个人如何厮守到老

怎样面对一切我不知道

回忆过去

痛苦的相思忘不了

为何你还来拨动我心跳

爱你怎么能了今夜的你应该明了

缘难了情难了

萧敬腾 has succeeded in making me fall in love with this song all over again.

movies movies!

YESTERDAY 07/06/08

TUESDAY 03/06/08

空缺

2008-05-31T23:26:00.005+08:00

i believe Collen will probably agree with me that this song rocks our socks (:

空缺

伍家辉

当你关上了门离开这个房间

关上了仅有的光线只剩想念

我还感受到温柔的幻觉

月亮的背面写满了我们的细节

我的回忆种满你曾对我说过的预言

开成了一座遗憾的花园

也许一天在挤满行人的那一条街

你才会发现我留下的空缺

就当作我们不熟练不够周全

就当作我们追不上彼此改变

我以为能完美写下句点

时间在后面遥控了所有的情节

我的回忆种满你曾对我说过的预言

开成了一座遗憾的花园

也许一天在挤满行人的那一条街

你才会发现我留下的空缺

幸福需要的磨练我们都误解成搁浅

活在想象的明天忘了今天未完结

我的回忆种满你曾对我说过的预言

开成了一座遗憾的花园

也许一天在挤满行人的那一条街

你才会发现我留下的空缺

没有人能完全填补的空缺

anyway i just wanted to say that the GSS is really disappointing, but then again, since when was it ever NOT disappointing. sigh. it's more like CS - Clearance Sale and i usually end up buying those from the New Collection and are NOT on sale. darn it. hahaha.

work's been okay so far and i'm glad im at least earning money to make up for my spending! especially with inflation everywhere nowadays :D

how accurate?

2008-05-21T23:00:00.005+08:00

not bad a show indeed! though i thought it could be more touching. hahah.
i really don't know what to blog about. this boring life of mine :D
oh yes, results will be out next friday. i cannot wait!
whether i do well or not i just don't like the feeling of suspense.

yesterday i went for braces tightening and apparently the orthodontist stuck two pieces of i-dunno-what behind my front two teeth. he calls it the "bite-blockers" which very obviously blocks biting/chewing. it is most frustrating when my teeth don't hurt from the tightening and yet i can't eat because my lower and upper set of teeth can't meet due to these two blocks. urgh! i've been surviving on mee sua, tau huey and porridge for the past two days! ): hopefully he takes them out next month so i can eat normally again. sigh. but i can lose MORE weight so thats probably a consolation. hur. and i can't really speak properly with two things stuck behind my front teeth. URGH.

oh and Grey is actually quite a nice colour. it's rather effective in concealing the braces (if you're not rich enough to go for ceramics) and it does to a certain extent makes the teeth look abit whiter. hahaha. not a bad idea. i might consider going for grey again. thanks Sua for this advice of yours! (if you still remember telling me that) :D it is no wonder some people have never noticed your braces, because you always go grey!

realization.

2008-05-17T00:43:00.006+08:00

working at NYGH Popular bookstore isn't really bad thing.
lunching alone in a school canteen isn't really a bad thing.

wonder why?

minus the fact that eating in the school canteen saves me alot of trouble and MONEY..

and despite the fact that it makes me feel old, it brings back tons of precious memories.
of secondary school days, or JC days, which have long gone.
the innocence, the ignorance, the foolishness, the bliss.
the days when we don't have so many things to worry or think about.

the fun i had doing purely stupid things with my friends back then can't be relived but cherished.
whenever i walk past the track, the courts, reminds me of track&field days & PE days!
oh my goodness how long haven't i had PE lessons! i long for those days again.

or the preparations the girls make for their Open House today (saturday) makes me yearn for my council days! the days where we had meetings till late in the night, sometimes coming to a good conclusion, sometimes coming to nothing yet eventually able to make an event successful.
the classic cheers the council does after every debrief after every successful event.

or how we always get high ourselves cheering at major sports events while facing the whole crowd of sianded SA peeps who refused to/reluctantly cheer with us.

AHHHH I REALLY MISS IT ):
can i turn back the clock, please?

today's supposedly my last day of work but because they need people to help out next thurs & fri, i'll be working then as well. feeling of nostalgia. bittersweet.

looking at the current state of China after the quake, or happenings that has happened in my life and others, my mum constantly reminds me to not take life for granted, to treasure and cherish the good friends around me. which i really do. but then again, when people don't reciprocate the same to you, sometimes it just makes you feel like all you've done to keep the friendship going strong or all you've done to make your friend realise that you do cherish such a friend, all comes to nothing. is your effort always worth it? i wonder now.

what i ask for is for you to be honest with me. is that very difficult?

but of course, im glad i've a bunch of friends whom i know i can trust & cherish me the same way i do to them. and i appreciate it alot.

i will miss it.

2008-05-02T21:57:00.004+08:00

i will miss studying anatomy!
and i will miss the interesting lab sessions too! despite some being most boring :D
it has been a wonderful experience.
i can't believe i've learnt so much from the cadavers.

goodbye to the module which killed many of my brain cells when i was studying the brain and yet to the module i loved the most.

i just CANNOT wait.

2008-04-29T20:53:00.002+08:00

oh wow. how many donkey years have i not updated.

and this time when i update has to be in the midst of my exams. hah.

my 2 core papers are down & i'm left with electives. can you hear me heave a huge sigh of relief? :D

and so i am

~ SIX DAYS

to freedom.

i cannot wait.

我要逃亡!

2008-04-10T22:08:00.008+08:00

逃亡

孙燕姿

踩着月光打开车窗

离开这城市想找个解放

一路开往最高那一座山

孤单的想像寂寞的逃亡

我想是偶尔难免沮丧

想离开想躲起来

心里的期待总是填不满

我看着山下千万的窗

谁不曾感到失望

就算会彷徨也还要去闯

关于未来只有自己明白

不想让心情被现实打败

一路开往最高那一座山

孤单的想像寂寞的逃亡

我站在靠近天的顶端

张开手全都释放

用月光取暖给自己力量

才发现关于梦的答案

一直在自己手上

只有自己能让自己发光

要去闯

i just can't wait for exams to be over!

Change The World.

2008-02-22T23:57:00.006+08:00

watched L : Change The World with Collen today.

and i really loved it! despite the really gross parts when the virus breaks out, which was totally yucks.. i just can't describe how cute L is. omgosh! despite looking like a typical Otaku, his actions are simply just... irresistably cute! especially the part where he tried to walk without slouching. HILARIOUS. AHHH Kenichi Matsuyama woohooo! :D hahaha.

though the movie itself is totally not linked to the previous movies cause it's not part of the original plot, i still think that it was really worth my 8bucks (:

oh what's more? we each got a piece of chocolate free just for watching it. HOW COOL IS THE PUBLICITY MAN! :D

say goodbye.

2008-01-13T21:34:00.000+08:00

sem 2 is starting tmr. TOMORROW. ohmy. my holidays are over! O-V-E-R! :(

this sem is going to be rather tough and packed for me. considering the modules i'm going to take. my 2 core modules are already quite a killer. on top of that, im taking Human Anatomy (how cool is that woohoo) as my elective, Drugs & Society and Chinese Tradition. it's going to be a crazy sem. hopefully fulfilling at the same time.

i happen to be reading this book on Procrastination and i find it rather interesting. it's funny how we sometimes keep putting off tasks that probably required our attention the most or are the most boring of all. so yes, this sem i aim NOT to procrastinate :D which is quite difficult in a sense. lol!

so yes, tmr is a new start and there's new hope (: i suppose this blog will be dead until Chinese New Year. i'm sorry about it but i have no choice. too lazy, too busy.

goodbye and take good care! (:

staying alive.

2008-01-03T22:31:00.000+08:00

okay to prevent my blog from dying, i've decided to post up yet another entry!

FIRST AND FOREMOST! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! (:

it was my last day of work today! (gladfully yet kind of sadly) and something unbelievably unlucky happened. the bus i was taking actually broke down due to engine overheating. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. first time public transport failed me! hahah. and the bloody substitute bus took 30mins to come, which land me half an hour late for work and 1hour pay. darn it. if u want an accurate measurement of how long the substitute bus took, a man waited until he couldn't take it anymore he waved a cab and left.

and when i boarded the substitute bus i didn't tap my card. make up for my losses :D but seriously, SMRT should really send their buses for servicing and maintainence. urgh. this better be the first and last time. or i will probably be complaining. what a put off for my last day of work!

anyway last day of work wasn't that bad. i thought of leaving early but end up staying till closing cuz it was so exceptionally busy today. the only regretful thing is that because it's only the 2nd day to school reopening, i only get to try 2 stalls from the canteeeen! not fairrrr! ): but apparently, i picked the correct ones cuz i heard the stalls i tried were 2 of the better stalls, so thats some consolation! :D

thats all for work for now, the following days will be filled with bidding rounds and all. i shall not reveal the modules im intending of taking until i get them or else it'll all be empty talk. lol.

my holiday is left with another week man. school's reopening! how exciting -.-

i cannot wait for my fiery mouth to come! wheeee! now THATS exciting (:

draggy.

2007-12-18T23:14:00.000+08:00

work has been merciful so far just that it's getting pretty tiring to my legs because i usually have to stand & do stuff plus move cartons of books/files around. and because im more or less familiarised with the work stuff my supervisor trusts me with more duties. i mostly end up dragging my feet home & just stay put on the sofa after bathing. rah. hahah.

this week will be VERY busy week because of the sec 1 orientation i.e. textbook sales as well on friday.. which means i've to work OT on certain days bleh. also reminds me of those days. omg sec 1 orientation seemed AGES ago! and what im going say is going to be like a repeat broadcast to someone here but i'm still gg to blog about it anyway!

it's pretty amusing seeing parents bring their sec 1 or sec 2 children to the bookstore to get textbooks and how the kids themselves know nothing abt what texts to buy & what stationery to get. and it makes feel me so nostalgic where there used to be times when my parents brought me to get my books from the bookshop & going up with heavy bags of books. that feeling is oh-so-familiar whenever i pack books into plastic bags for them. hahahah.

i used to feel quite excited whenever i buy texts for the new sch year. but not now because of the heart-breaking price, the intimitating thickness & the daunting small print (apart from the colourful but often useless pictures which provide temporary entertainment) textbooks no longer mean anticipation for me but dread. the dread of carrying such heavy weight home & because it's impossible to study w/o texts now it means MUST STUDY.

but at least i get to how stupid i must have looked or been when i was in sec (not to say pri) one or two because now i'll secretly laugh at the sec ones or twos whenever they get chided by their parents because they know nothing, and their parents have to get things done for them in the end. so afterall, ignorance is indeed bliss isn't it? :D

suddenly i realise im less than TEN DAYS away from the release of results. SHUCKS.

status update.

2007-12-14T22:08:00.001+08:00

i haven't been blogging often nowadays. sometimes i just feel soooo lazy about it! hahah but i just feel i should at least update on the stuff i've been doin and all.

i've watched 2 movies with 2 different fantastic groups of people. first of all! on sat i lunched w lau & phneah & then watched The Golden Compass with phneah. i knew it was going to be a trilogy so i didn't expect an ending. but we were QUITE late (abt 15mins) so we spent alot of effort figuring out the plot :D but it was quite a good show still! (: and i love phneah's 8MP digicam her daddy just got for her. woohoo.

on sun i went to watch Hero with collen. i must say. Hero is REALLY REALLY GOOD. way passed my expectations of it. it has humour yet meaning to the plot. nice one. i loooove it! absolutely worth my $9.50!

and then i started work. still manageable i guess. just that sometimes it gets sooo boring i stone for half the day. HAHAHAH. so this is how the first week of my holidays went. i foresee work to be extremely busy next wednesday & friday. ah well. at least im prepared for it. hahah.

i have to declare something. i seriously hate taking mrt sometimes, especially during peak hours or on weekends. it totally gets on my nerves! i can't tolerate people (especially like groups of friends or students) blocking the whole doorway and there's just no way for people to get off but to almost shout EXCUSE ME or push their way through. seriously. when this situation happens i don't really bother being courteous or polite sometimes although i still TRY to be, i'd end up losing my cool. hahahah. AND TOWN. OH MY GOSH. total shopping displeasure. it gets soo crowded sometimes u just walk a step at a time. seriously gets on my nervesssss! but ah well. i guess this is what you get when singapore is "opening up". you get more crowded places, more crowded transportation and more displeasures. but fact is fact ):

EXAMS OUT.

2007-12-06T14:55:00.000+08:00

FINALLY. the torturous exams have finally come to an end! WOOHOO. i can now youtube or facebook without any sense of guilt. hahah.

it's really amazing how time flies when you don't realise it. 1 sem in NUS seemed so fast. but anyway, i went to watch Enchanted after my last paper yesterday. it's such a cute show! hahahah. but when the witch said "i'm sending her to a place where there's no happily ever after" i turned and asked anna "which is to say in our world there's no happily ever after?" and she was like yarh hor? HAHAHAH.

it's not that i desperately wanna get attached or anything when i type this entry. i am so happily single. LOL but this question keeps popping up every now and then. when you're with friends.. out on dinner and stuff. the one question they'll ask is "oh are you attached?" or "oh noo why am i still single?!" or "OMG do you know who and who are attached?!" & then the whole conversation abt singlehood and relationships will soon follow after. do you ever realise that when you're out with friends? i just realised that trend as i get older. heh.

but it's funny when some people who WANTS to get attached but yet are not because their Mr. or Ms. Right hasn't crossed their paths yet. like recently i FINALLY met up with jason together ian and serx we were talking about it. and i realised actually our expectations of the other half are quite unrealistic sometimes. "oh very simple la. she must be pretty, intelligent, eloquent, innocent yet naughty" WOAH. or "oh he must be taller than me, smarter than me, goodlooking blah blah blah" but, when i actually think about it, where the hell do we find such a (perfect)person? in our dreams la or they're probably celebrities (like jaejoong).

hahahah and yet most of the time, people will often realise that their lifetime partners at the end of the day arent what they had expected or what they have visualised them to be. a rather funny thing but thats reality. in the meantime, in the search, people will always keep their expectations SO high up in the hope of getting someone that matches or close to that. but i guess eventually who i'd want is for someone to take care of me, be there for me and love me for who i am. although one necessary criteria is he must be taller than i am. HAHAHAH.

but oh well! singlehood still rocks and i can continue admiring pretty boys like JaeJoong or whosoever. thats more than enough to satisfy me for the time being. heh!

and im bloody jealous. DBSK's concert was held at KL last night and i didn't get to watch! just at the wrong time ): im so sad. i wanna watch them Live. or even Big Bang. but none of them are willing to come to singapore. OH HOW SADDENING!

oh well, for the exams that start tmr, sherlynn HWAITING! (:

on hiatus.

2007-11-15T23:11:00.000+08:00

hohoho. the exam period is here and that would mean no blogging too. HOW SAD. hahaha.

there're certain issues which i would love to blog on but can't find the time to sit down and type those entries.. urgh.

uni has been merciful to me so far though at certain times it gets so frustrating i need an outlet to scream or complain. like seriously. hahah.

and i came to a conclusion. the school library is the last place to go if you don't want to stress yourself out before the exam because it's just simply FILLED (i re-emphasize FILLED) with people burying their heads in their books. simply a catalyst to adding MORE stress to stressed. LOL.

so yes. i will just erm try my best. hahah.

till then! (:

hahah!

2007-11-06T22:26:00.000+08:00

at the bus-stop opposite NUS waiting for our bus...

nana: eh sher. omg one sem is going to be over soon. so fast ah?

sher: yarhh don't remind me.

nana: so what do you think you gained from this semester?

sher: -thinks and replies almost instantly- STRESS.

LOL!

hmm.

2007-11-03T22:34:00.000+08:00

i should update about my project first. it's actually for this General Education Module which is compulsory to take. and i chose to take up Japanese Studies and i study about the Samurai & Geisha. on how they are normally viewed at stereotypes and how they are in reality. and for the project of this module i've to come up with a stereotype and do a analysis on it. so yeah. my project mate came up with tattoos and i thought was quite good since we always have the image of tattooed people as gangsters & bad people. we're actually discussing how tattoos are actually significant in other cultures as well and that it isn't necessary all bad.

so yes! that's about tattoos. and whit, i mentioned you because i was discussing the point on tattoos as a form of inspiration for certain people during my presentation. and since ur tattoo the word is 医 right? if i was right. yeah la then i crap abit la. lol!

right. and i just had my last biodiversity lab/field trip yesterday. and we went to the ZOOO! hahahah! i know. what a place. but we're studying DIVERSITY here so we don't have a choice. ah well. it wasn't all detestable. it's just we didn't really time to stay at each enclosure or even go to CHILDREN'S ZOO which i really wanted to go.. didn't even have time to snap photos plus it was drizzling and it really wasn't an easy task handling umbrellas and flipping & filling in notes at the same time. hahaha. it was all a mad rush and we walked tons. but well, i can't expect much from an educational trip with a test at the end of it right? hur.

but anyway, yes. i have no pictures of the zoo to post so i shall just post the map. HAHAHAH.

thats our beloved ahmeng on the cover of the map. hahah i must say monkeys are the only animals we've seen most in that field trip :D

there it is! the map. hahahah. how lame.

hmm. i'd really love to change blogskin soon. just that i can't find the time to sit down and edit the html stuff. maybe sometime soon! :D

2weeks more of school then thats it. reading week. then exams. AHHH! so dead so dead so dead! ): im sorry to be always complaining about school. the workload is just disgusting. and i REALLY ought to start soon. it isn't really helping with the notes posted online and i've to come online to print them. not good at all. see i get all emo when it comes to school work.

step up.

2007-10-30T23:12:00.000+08:00

OMG DBSK was on the news just now about their increasing popularity and concerts in Asia (EXCEPT Singapore). dammit.

plus their 'O' concert in malaysia is on Nov 24th. 2days before my exam. which means i won't even have the chance to travel to KL to watch them. thank you.

sucks la.

hahah. and im influenced by Sua to like Big Bang (apart from SE7EN whom i already like) i've almost all of Big Bang's songs on my iPod already.

exams are drawing damn near. unknowingly but surely. which means i might just die without knowing i died. er wth. hahah. i really need to step up on my revision.

but anyway dinner yesterday with lau & phneah was a good retreat before the exam hell.
and it's now time to get back to reality. goodbye.

whit: hahah they have teh-tarik and bandung flavoured icecream. apple pie and others too! haha lets go there when you come back. i haven't been there in ages and i simply have zero time now. lol. yeahhh! thats the movie! it's so meaningful! anyway i mentioned you in my project presentation cuz of your tattoo. my project is on tattoos see. hahahah! your name wasn't mentioned don't worry :D

RAHH.

2007-10-23T23:21:00.001+08:00

i've a presentation for my project on monday & the rehearsal's this thurs. i've yet to come up with the script! though my project mate did a super good job with the ppt slides. heh. and i've organic chem test on thurs. freak la. i might just screw it up in the end ): i work 7days a week on school stuff. bloody hell thats worse off than the working adults. urgh.

everytime i study org chem i just can't help it but to swear. hahaha. it's THAT bad okay. sucks.

but anyway i wanted to blog about this last week but too lazy. i went to watch Nanny Diaries with collen on friday. yes it's an unknown show. BUT it turned out to be a really really meaningful show! about how working parents orften neglect their child or family problems. and i guess it's pretty prevalent in most of the worlds of youngsters nowadays right? ya so do watch! i learnt never to ignore unknown or unpopular films. hahah. but we were lucky it turned out okay.

i realised i have 115songs from DBSK in my library! -GASPS- what a discovery! hahah.

back to my script.

slack like crap.

2007-10-17T12:17:00.000+08:00

wooo i'm actually blogging in school! during bio lecture because the nice lecturer will only upload the notes after the lecture. nice. hahaha. damnnnn slack now! eeeks. i ought to be listening. hur.

so amusing i only spent $1.20 on lunch today. a bao and soya bean milk. diaoo. hahah. pardon me i find interest in little meaningless things nowdays. lol. especially when school's becoming increasingly lifeless! seriously. hahah.

and i officially hate Organic Chemistry. don't ask me why. blame it on my lecturer who made me lost total interest in that subject. blah. sucks. and! i miss Roland Cheo! no he's NOT my boyfriend. he's my ex-econs lecturer. LOL. my new econs lecturer today was quite a bore. i almost fell asleep! which is bad when all the aggregate demand supply nonsense was going on. hahah. badd.. im screwed for finals!!

ok i dunno what im talking already. im just stoning.
this entry is raaaaaabbish!!

sudden craving.

2007-10-11T15:08:00.000+08:00

suddenly i feel like having ice-cream from Island Creamery! haven't been there in ages! ):

be amazed.

2007-10-10T21:52:00.000+08:00

be really amazed at how time flies! i was just informed tmr's the Farewell Assembly for JC2 students. like wth?! unbelievable! feels like not long ago when i was sitting in the cultural centre going through the assembly.

time really flies.

another ~6weeks to my Final Term Exam! how fast is that. at the rate i'm going i'm going to be deadmeat lah. urgh my 3.8 CAP is distancing itself from me ):

see, another example of how time flies so unconsciously.

school's becoming alot more like a burden nowdays. and no i don't mean the people. i mean the workload. i'm like surviving on 4plus5 hours of sleep everyday and for a pig like me i'm utterly shattered. weekends are highly precious to me but a pity they're always over before i know it. ohgosh..

my main goal for now, is to rule out any carelessness when it comes to a test, not to even say an exam. i just can't believe how retarded i can get until i reviewed my Econs midterm! i swear i won't let that kind of thing happen again. and so, SLEEP IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT FOR AN ALERT MIND!

talking about Econs, i'm DAMN SAD. my favourite lecturer, Roland Cheo had his last lecture with us this morning. cuz he's handing the other chapters to another lecturer. i was so sad! his lectures are super interesting & engaging it keeps me focused and all attentive. now there's a change in lecturer, and i will be drifting away after 1hr of lecture all over again! ):

6weeks is all i have now to make a difference.

just do it.

2007-10-07T00:49:00.001+08:00

i think i mentioned LONG LONG ago i would love to try cutting bangs. and i did it.

based on the fact that we're all turning 20 sooon and we ought to start trying things we haven't tried before. LOL. and i quite like my new hair! :D

i swear i will conquer econs by final term. i still have 70% of the grade left for me to fight for. though i performed OKAY for mids. no the competition is driving me nuts.

you can do this sher.

be strong.

2007-10-03T23:13:00.000+08:00

隐形的翅膀

张韶涵

每一次都在徘徊孤单中坚强

每一次就算很受伤也不闪泪光

我知道我一直有双隐形的翅膀

带我飞飞过绝望

不去想他们拥有美丽的太阳

我看见每天的夕阳也会有变化

我知道我一直有双隐形的翅膀

带我飞给我希望

我终于看到所有梦想都开花

追逐的年轻歌声多嘹亮

我终于翱翔用心凝望不害怕

哪里会有风就飞多远吧

隐形的翅膀

让梦恒久比天长

留一个愿望

让自己想象

there is no particular reason for putting that song up. i just feel like it. the lyrics somewhat inspires me.

and icecream mooncakes satisfies me. YUMMY! though belated but i got them FOC. i shouldn't complain at all! :D

AND i'm sooooo annoyed. DBSK's "O" concert in Taiwan is this weekend and they'll have another one in Kuala Lumpur in Nov (my exam period. oh 'happily') OMG WHY NOT SINGAPORE! ): rahhhhh!

i don't wanna flood my tagboard with my own tags so yes i shall reply them HERE (points below)

whit: reallyyyy?! okay the next time i go Bugis i will search for it. lol! oh anyway yes, Donut Factory is this shop that sells doughnuts (i mean like duh lah) but yarh. it's just DONUTS with different flavours. i've to admit they're really sinful and all that but then ah, there're certainly better shops in other countries that haven't ventured into Singapore YET. so yeah, until now i suppose that place still remains as the most popular donut store :D HAHAH well i don't exactly know alot of food places. thats because Singapore only has THAT FEW nice food places. LOL! YESS.. WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK AGAIN! omg! been ages since i last saw you lahh! nana and i miss you ALOT! be sure to inform me when you're back okayyy! (:

jingxiu: ah yes i do miss you! ALOT. eh i haven't seen you ever since MY BIRTHDAY! which is like JULY. woahhhh! lol. but you're so BUSY and i'm so BUSY we must try to find time to meet. damn my CAs here and there lah. hahah :D soon soon love!

recommendation PLUS complaint!

2007-09-28T23:53:00.001+08:00

i've just finished watching the japanese drama Tokyo Tower 東京タワー . okay now u know what i've really been doing during my recess week (instead of studying hard. urgh)

but anyway this is one of the BEST dramas i've ever watched. okay not BEST but certainly the most meaningful one. it's very family based since the storyline is mainly abt the relationship between a son and his mother. as well as the friends he has in Tokyo and so on. really really really touching! and i think it's rather close to the heart. not just for me. for most of the young people i suppose. looking at the way we interact with our mums and friends.

and i'm still trying to find the soundtracks online. so difficult. lol.

whats more. the backdrop of most of the scenes is TOKYO TOWER! rahh. makes me miss Japan. and makes me miss the CREAM PUFFS from Chou Factory located in Tokyo Tower itself! but just staring at the structure itself awes me. especially at night when it's lighted. it's B-E-A-UTIFUL.

okay i took this photo when i was there. and therefore explains the not-so-good photography.

they have REALLY yummy cream puffs. seriously man!

talking about cream puffs which makes me link to doughnuts (they're all desserts/snacks anyway!) Donut Factory cheated me of one doughnut yesterday! i am so upset about it. not about the $1.20 but the service/integrity. i ordered 2 boxes of six with 2 Double Choc in each. because the double choc wasn't ready i had to wait. and so i did, (thought) i got them, and left happily. to my horror i found 1 double choc missing from one of the boxes, specifically MY box. RAHH.

and i couldn't possibly go back & request for it because they'll sure accuse me of eating it already. good thing i only queued for 15minutes or i will be really mad. maybe they were too busy but then again not alot of people then what! urgh. but well, a kind soul gave up one of his double chocolate doughnuts and so i had a complete set again! right Sua? :D

wheeeeeeee! (:

i was just thinking. Donut Factory is enough to make people queue for 3hrs when they first started. what will the queuing time be IF they were to bring in Mister Donut from Japan? WOAHHH. i myself already spent 15mins standing at the display counter thinking which flavour of doughnut i should eat when i was there lah!

or maybe i was just being indecisive. as i have always been. heh.

**GOONG S IS GOING TO BE SCREENED ON CHANNEL U SOOOON! but i watched it already :D i will probably watch it again. SE7EN.

call me crazy.

2007-09-26T00:17:00.000+08:00

please do ignore this entry because i only need an outlet to yes, release my craziness. hur. so here i go wheeeee!

freak i love his new hair!

when he sings i completely melt. ahhhhh! JAEJOONG! tsktsk. not that i don't like the others. in fact i loveeeee them (points below). just that i love him (points above) more than the others. heh.

i really have no idea why pretty boys appear so attractive to me. especially KOREAN ones.

--------- End of Proclaimation --------

if you have absolutely no idea what this entry is about. it's okay. ignore it thankyou! (:

i really ought to go back to my econs instead of lingering here :/

hello recess weeek!

2007-09-22T23:14:00.000+08:00

recess week just began. but it will not be a recess week at all. i've tons of work to catch up and i seriously NEEED to catch up. hahah.

but anyway i found it quite amusing my random entry actually attracted several tags. how can this be possible?! people read random entries but not the propers ones?! lol just kiddin. but ning, what has peanuts got to do with not being able to deep-fry it? i mean it's like wrapped in flour or whatever right. hahah. actually i'd love to try fried snickers bar la. being more of a snickers lover than mars. heh.

right. on the last day of school i had lunch with my pri sch friend who's studying in medicine. and had a really great chat. it's rather amazing seeing how we've changed or rather matured in thinking since the ancient primary school days. it's really annoying how we can't relive those carefree days.

oh! after lunch i sent him for his anatomy practical. no not because i was being nice. i had my selfish thoughts. i wanted to take a peek at the anat practical room which needed a matric pass to even open the door! darn coool! but the formaldehyde smell was overwhelming seriously. to think he said people ever passed out because of it. hahahah. well at the beginning i thought of taking anat next sem as an elective but i think i've changed my mind. thinking about the workload (ie. TONS of brain cells will be killed by memory work) and of course the courage i must pluck up to go for practical each time. it's quite unimaginable. so i think i'll settle for something less challenging. coward. hur.

then i caught Ratatouille (freak am i slow or what) with collen. she had complimentary passes for free-listing movies. hahahah. thanks love! the movie was fantabulous! i love it! i'd pay to watch it but i didn't have the time so that explains why i didn't. the whole show was just CUTE alright. hahah.

so that was my last day of school. lol!

i foresee a mugger me in the week to come. i need some oil to start my rusty engine working all over again. it's gonna be such a struggle oh my goshhhh. but i will try. heh.

whit: hello my dear girl. whats up? the ceiling. hahahah nah just kiddin. anyway Azabo Sabo is a shop/restaurant selling Hokkaido ice-cream! rather fantastic stuff. i bet you dont have that Down Under! which maybe explains why you're lagging. hahaha. i'm fine! just busy and i BET you've double or even triple my workload lah. Dr. Chua! :D catch up soon you!

ling: i just spoke to you on msn. so dont miss me too much okay! hahaha!

damn random.

2007-09-18T22:29:00.000+08:00

i suddenly thought of something.

how come people sell fried mars bars yet nobody comes up with the idea of selling fried snickers bars? hmmm.

how random :D

i will survive.

2007-09-17T23:16:00.000+08:00

it's been slightly more than a month since school started.
school has been nothing but busy. and it will probably remain so until this semester ends.
mid terms are coming and i dread it so much. yucks.
i swear my org chem lecturer is making me lose interest in org chem. it wasn't like that when i was in JC. which is the most irritating fact. hahah. good thing there're webcast lectures. heh.

i'm packed to the brim this week and i dread not having time for myself. sucks. but i suppose thats what university is all about. gosh. 3/4 of my world is in NTU and it's really difficult to meet up for a proper meal and catch up! though i promised to do so with some of them soon.
lets see i've got a stats test coming up this thurs. my GEM project ongoing. econs mid term coming up. lol. i will survive. i will. i must meet my targeted CAP! :D

jiayou everyone!

jap food day.

2007-09-08T21:50:00.000+08:00

i'm so lazy to type so i will just let the pictures do the typing. hahah.
i met Collen after lessons yesterday. we studied in school and then had Sakae for dinner. we were gluttons seriously. TEN coloured plates PLUS a bowl of Udon for her and Ramen for me.

then after sakae we had Azabo Sabo ice-cream. GOSH! fantastic. hahah. calories calories! but nvm. NUS is National University of Staircases! everywhere you go, CLIMB. hahah. photosss!

there was a cute guy that caught my attention then. HAHAH NO LARH

my BLACK SESAME icecream is woohoo! best! her tiramisu looks like shit but it's nice too. though i'd always choose either black sesame or green tea red bean when it comes to Azabo :D

oops! we finished the all the ice-cream! lol.

i was glad we got to go out for dinner. even though we're from same school same faculty but different majors. we seldom get to see each other. school's getting really busy now. i've a chem lab report at hand due tues, chem test on monday, and a project starting soon. AND I AM SICK. what a bad timing! URGH!

HWAITING!

[edit] oh i took part in this draw giving away 20pairs of preview tickets to Jet Li's Rouge Assassin and I WON A PAIR and im gg to watch it on 12th sept before its release. HAHAHA. bloody cool. i always win such stupid draws. back in sec 3 i ate a packet of Lays chips and won a pair of Casio Exilim digital cameras. woot!

see my sleek preview ticket! i intend to watch it with a fan of Jet Li's films. MY DADDY (:

oh noooo.. i think i ought to take back my words about not blogging anymore because thats what i am doing right NOW :X

woah woah woah.

2007-09-05T23:57:00.000+08:00

I FINALLY FINISHED MY BIODIVERSITY LAB REPORT! goodness the achievement.. 3nights of work for the 6page lab report. crap lah. hahah. at least now it's done. im just hoping it can at least score me a B+.

thats one down.. i've another chem lab report at hand due next tuesday! :/ cheong again. eeks.

i'm having trouble allocating my time to revise my modules simply because i don't have enough time to do so. horrid horrid horrid!

lab craze.

2007-08-31T23:27:00.000+08:00

hahah. i'm goin to make this entry quite interesting with photos! lol. well apparently there was lab today and there wasn't much stuff to do so we were rather free towards the end of it while waiting for dismissal. and my friends and i decided to sneak to the toilet with our lab coats on (when lab coats are strictly not allowed at any point outside the lab) but they didn't notice today. hahah. and so yes. we managed to take photos in our lab coats! :D how dumb can. lol. i've pending photos of the petri dishes of bacteria which haven't arrived in my inbox yet. heh.

and soo.. here goes!

and finally meet the scientist herself! (LIKE REAL LAH)

now i've one lab report due next week and another one will come in after my chem lab next week. GOSH! :/

my desk is in a total mess right now but i can't help it. hahahah.

thats excluding the two bloody thick texts i have stacked somewhere else. gosh. this is how school's like for me alright? hahah you get the idea. but im not studying THAT much la. since you get to see me online almost every night that explains it. hahaha. in other words, im quite dead when CA comes :/

wish me luck man!

and i must agree to what collen said to me today. that our blogs quite dead. because people are so busy with school and stuff they don't have the time to either update or to read. well maybe i might end up resigning like what Sua did. only in a more subtle way. like lesser and lesser entries by the day. hur. we'll see.

dieded.

2007-08-27T23:15:00.000+08:00

it is rather obvious that my blog is rather dead. hahahah.
but anyway to keep it alive i shall sacrifice some of my time to type a few sentences. i don't really have the time to type long entries like i used to do. and i do feel sad about it.
well you shld know by now i'm already in the 3rd week of school and everything is in full swing. omg.. doesn't feel like i've been in NUS for almost a month! :/ but i'm rather glad that some of my tuts are scheduled on alternate weeks leaving me with more free time (ie. more breathing space too!) soon the CAs will come and i'd probably be slaughtered alive. hahah.

yeah just know i'm doing okay and that is all that matters eh? :D

ciaos! i seriously miss hanging out with some of my friends.

Begin.

2007-08-18T22:16:00.000+08:00

exactly one week since i last updated. wow how time flies! i've decided to update once a week unless there's any other happening stuff which i think is worth an entry. so yupp! my blog isn't dead, neither will it be really active.

and so! my first week at school just went by. nothing really significant (since it's just school). lectures were okayy and kinda boring at times since they're mostly introductory lectures and what the lecturers did was only give a brief outline of the module and went abit into the syllabus. tutorials and lab sessions will only begin in the week of the 27th. so yeah. i'm still in honeymoon period. lol.

in fact i just had my first bio practical yesterday! well not exactly a practical because it was a Biodiversity module so we went on a field trip along some ulu Kent Ridge Road behind NUS exploring certain kinds of flora and fauna. and we had a short 12min test after that based on what we've covered during the field trip. and i thought it wasn't all that bad. heh.

but i must say university is definitely quite a big transition. i'm still in the midst of adjusting to the timetable and stuff we've to get done ourselves before each lecture. stuff like printing of notes online and all. because seriously all the lecturers are loading EVERYTHING they're going to do online. and it's quite irritating especially when they do it rather last minute! oh the bane of technology. hahah. but i'm getting used to it.

so yupp! thats about my first week. nothing much actually. and i'd better enjoy this 2weeks before lectures, tutorials and lab sessions go into full swing. i'll be pretty busy by then i presume. sucks. hahah. HONEYMOOON!

recently im kinda re-addicted to Angel In Disguise by Corrinne May and Patience by Take That. no idea why. beautiful lyrics i guess. ah well.

oh! and the fireworks display yesterday night and tonight was just AWESOME! i was so privileged because i got to watch it from the comfort of my own home. how cool is that. lol. thats not the main point. it was really spectacular!

but anyway to end off, say goodbye to the old me! (:

the last weekend of my vacation

2007-08-11T23:54:00.000+08:00

haix. the very last weekend before school reopens. sucks. finally it's coming. hahah. everybody seems to be dreading university life. i wonder why. and it isn't very assuring to someone whose semester is going to start in 2days time. crap. i guess all we need is more time to "embrace"/adapt to the university system which apparantly is something completely new :/

but anyway, here's how i spent/going to spend my last weekend before the supposedly hell starts!

Friday 10/08/07

不能说的秘密! (:

the whole day rocked lah!

Saturday 11/08/07

NUS RAG DAY @ PADANG. Chingay - NUS style. i'm so glad i decided to go for it today. really. and luckily there was Collen! anyway, the Science Fac float was damn zai. which won us 3 NUSSU shields. but we lost the most important Chancellor Shield (best overall) to Bizad. URGHHH! 2005 - Science Fac, 2006 - Bizad, 2007 - Bizad AGAIN! that was like the ultimate anti-climax of the day! ): but nvm! next year, science fac will return. hopefully. lol.

thats the damn cool float frm sci fac. it doesn't exactly look cool but when you see the mechanism of it it's so brilliant. and the "buddha" can actually move, it danced to the indian music. HAHAHAH.

while Collen and i were escaping from the sun for awhile, i met Cais at the Marketplace! what a beautiful coincidence! (:

while the others were cheering out in the hot weather we were skiving at Mos Burger sipping Iced Milk Tea. HAHAH.

we're both in this together :D

so sad! school's starting! ):

finally it's over.

2007-08-08T22:10:00.000+08:00

all the bidding hassle is over. dammit. i bet no year 1 was sane during the past few days. the bids were crazy. NUS should really review this system sometime soon. it isn't really working really well. and it's especially unfair for freshmen with lesser points to compete for GEM and SS modules with the seniors! grr.

the record nobody should break.

2007-08-03T23:10:00.000+08:00

RECORD FOR WISHING ME "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" THE MOST TIMES

goes to *drumroll* MR. SUA NING! with a record of 4times!

as cheesy as this may sound, he is the record holder of wishing me Happy Birthday everyday for one week.

HOWEVER, this record is nothing to be proud of for he did it because he forgot my birthday, hence not wishing me on the actual day itself. all out of guilt. tsktsk.

therefore, i strongly encourage this record to remain as it is as i wouldn't really appreciate people forgetting my birthday on purpose next year just to break this record! :D
__________________________

a dramatic change will be happening to me soon.
no it's not all the university crap. definitely something more exciting.
i shall update abt it soon so stay tuned.
the one who know abt it (YES YOU JING XIU) pls don't let the cat out of the bag yet! :p

sorry for such a late entry! all the university shit is getting to me. lol. anyway here's how my birthday weekend went! tons of photos ahead! (:

Saturday 21/07/07

caught Rapture at Mediacorp with Anna Jovita to support the Alumni dancers (in particular, YingLi) i felt damn old as a J3 going back to watch the SAJC annual dance concert. urgh! seeing the 30th council on duty as ushers just reminds me of the days where we're all dressed smartly in our tailored blazers and the blisters we girls suffered due to our court shoes! oh well. those were the days. but Rapture was good anyway! just that Mediacorp was so inaccessible we had to cab there and cab back :/

Sunday 22/07/07

met up with JingXiu for advance birthday lunch! since she isn't free the whole week. Kenneth and her bought me a Forever Friends Mug which is so sweet. and they made me a BLOODY cool card. and i emphasize on the two words BLOODY COOL. wait till you see the photos! and Kenneth actually worked out the physics of the whole card. how creative! like really! :D i really really sincerely appreciate it! alright here's a glimpse of the BLOODY COOL card!

oh thats the card and their mug! if you think the letters HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERLYNN are sticked on the paper then you're SO wrong. take a look at the whole mechanism of the card!

HOW COOL IS THAT LAH! hahahah! i was so impressed can! just that it can't stand on it's own. which explains the file behind it :X

meet one of the creators of the card, Ng Jing Xiu. the other producer Kenneth Li is back in camp. LOL!

Monday 23/07/07

i was supposed to meet YingLi & Ellyne in town at 1pm. being such a sleepyhead i woke up at 11:15am :X and both of them rang my doorbell at 11:30am and surprised me with a lighted cake. THANKS AH. i was damn unglam. like seriously! but i was still very touched la nonetheless. so they slacked in my room while i prepared to go out. kbox! damn lame la. tsktsk. but it was much fun despite all the zou ying-ing during singing. :D thanks girls! as a reward they got to be my first two non-family passengers. lol!

now you understand why i say i was unglam? HAHAH.

as you can tell, this is taken in my room (my favourite retreat :D) but at least i look more presentable now. heh.

we all have a thing for toilet photography! :D

Ellyne's face was quite red after the Sprite Tequila! :D and YingLi looks so tanned after her camp. i thought i was black enough. HAHAH.

however, i only managed to spend half a day with them for dinner was reserved with my family. my dad brought me, my mum, my grandma and my aunts to Swissotel for buffet dinner! WOOHOO :D

that's how i spent my birthday! anyway a BIG THANK YOU goes out to each and every single one of you who remembered!

my dear cousin Tan Yong Teck (hahah!) who was the very FIRST one to wish me at the stroke of midnight.

people like Anna Jovita, Collen, Kenneth, JingXiu, Luling etc. and even the few most unexpected people whom i haven't been in contact with :/ YES not to mention Whitney and Claire who messaged me their birthday wishes all the way from Down-Under! and Andy's friendster testimonial, also from Down-Under. AHHH! i was really touched by the fact they remembered!

and the NS-Boys! hahah! despite their busy schedules! Ian wished me half an hour in advance being afraid he won't have time to wish after training, Alfred past midnight despite having to report early next morning, and Xun who still remembers! (: but of course, belated birthday wishers are forgiven. it's better late than never right? i still appreciate them! (: this includes Jason (who still owes me a letter), Mich, Gen, Huis, Jiam etc. and Sua! who happily forgot, or rather thought my birthday was couple of months ago until tuesday night. tsktsk :D

it really feels pretty old being 19. with university starting in 2weeks time :/ but anyway i couldn't get a place in the Science Orientation Week camp as i was too slow in application and it's full. like duh, 375places for a science cohort of 900+ is just plain ridiculous. i don't understand why it's called Freshmen Orientation when it doesn't include all freshmen. so dumb. but it's ok cuz i already know quite a few people goin into science fac. which also means i'm free from 1st to 12th August. people, please ask me out before school starts! hahah.

to end off, meet my new school bag! :D my mum got it for me abt a month ago as a birthday present in advance! I LOVE IT LA!

postponed.

2007-07-21T23:54:00.000+08:00

i watched Rapture (SAJC's Annual Dance Concert) just now at Mediacorp with Anna Jovita. feels damn old to be watching that as a J3. and seeing my juniors! urgh! hahah.
i will update abt it another time because i guess then i'll be able to merge entries! heh.

and if you're free read today's straits times forum page. the last entry abt how Singapore isn't First World yet. it's a comparison between Japan's society and ours. which is the issue i've been ranting about all this while.

and as quoted from the writer, "I take my hat off Japan"

next few days will be busy yet exciting for me! MUAHAHAH.
shame on you if you don't know why. hahah.
ciaos! (:

july 19th.

2007-07-19T22:25:00.000+08:00

Happy 17th Birthday my dear cousin Tan Yong Teck!
a star on his own (: HAHAH.

eh i got card haven't pass to you lahh..

(and i expect to see one such entry for me soon too okay! muahahah)

inspirational.

2007-07-17T22:46:00.000+08:00

i strongly recommend this japanese drama. it's based on a true story of a girl who had the Spinocerebellar Degeneration disease, which means the part of her brain that controls her movement and ability to speak is dying by the day, and there is no cure for such a disease.

it's 10episodes and towards the end of the show i was moved to tears at almost every episode. it's truly inspirational indeed. how the girl can be so strong despite her disease, which she eventually succumbed to.

and it made me feel, maybe the setbacks that happen in our lives everyday are so trivial, but people tend to blow things up and make it seem like it's such a big issue when it's actually not compared to what others are facing.

and maybe the pace of life is so fast we have no time to slow down our footsteps to admire the things around us, even if it's along the same road we take everyday. and to spend quality time with the people around us. you'll realise certain things which you may not have noticed in the past, or which you have always taken for granted.

Dear Harry

2007-07-14T23:42:00.000+08:00

from the title, you should be able to guess what my entry will be about. thats right! HARRY POTTER. i've just watched it today. and being someone who always reads the book again before the movie, i shall comment on it. (this is entirely a personal opinion)

first, lets talk abt the positive points! lets see..

1. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) was gorgeous and all, but thats not the main point. HAHAH.

2. The effects during the battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore were good. the smashing glass and everything. i think that was the climax of the movie.

3. The background scenery of their flying scene towards Number Twelve Grimmauld Place (see i read the book. heh) was BREATH-TAKING. no wonder Jason Yeung is enjoying it there. LOL.

4. I thought Imelda Staunton who played Dolores Umbridge was brilliant. she was bitchy and annoying enough, which fulfilled the role of Dolores exactly what she's being portrayed in the book itself. not to mention Harry & gang, even i was irritated just by watching her. and Luna Lovegood was good too. it's totally alike to whats portrayed in the book. always dreamy and all.

5. The film managed to capture a mixture of emotions. certain scenes were damn funny especially with Ron & his brothers Fred&George. hilarious. the fighting scene was exciting.. and the scene where Sirius Black was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange (oops i hope i'm not a spoiler at this) was quite an emotional one. there were scenes with anger and so on but i shall not reveal too much. just watch it.

oh and Ron is actually quite a sweet guy! if you actually realise the way he teases/talks back Hermoine ALL THE TIME, he still cares alot for her and wants to protect her especially in the scene where she was grabbed by Grawp. awwwwww...

NOW, lets see the list of negative points!

1. The kissing scene (URGHH!) was too long. LOL. no, this is not a valid point.

2. When Hagrid wanted Grawp to be taken care of, he's supposed to have brought only Hermoine & Harry because Ron was the new Gryffindor Keeper and he was supposed to be playing Quidditch against Slytherin then. but in the movie, Ron followed them! :/

3. The entire scene abt Hermoine getting a reporter from Daily Prophet to get Harry's account on the encounter with Voldemort during V'day which pisses Cho off was totally out! so sad.

4. How Harry got to see Snape's Worst Memory of being bullied by James Potter was through Snape's Pensieve. not through the Legilimens spell during Occlumency!

5. I thought the ending part where Dumbledore personally spoke to Harry was too short la! it took up a chapter for Dumbledore to explain to Harry about the Lost Prophecy and they only showed like 5mins? aiyo.

okay. for now i can't think of any more. it's overall a good film i must say. much darker than any other Harry Potter movies. worth a watch! (: BUT DON'T READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU WATCH or you'll be quite disappointed!

oh and i bought my Freaky Monsta tshirt today too. so happy! :D

thats my tshirt! can't see from here. but it's damn cute. hahaha. pardon me, i love taking photos in fitting rooms :p

is this life?

2007-07-12T22:46:00.000+08:00

at this point in time, i can really relate to the words on my blog template.

life has definitely been fair to me. with the greatest parents and family ever, with the nicest friends and a life i consider pretty luxurious considering i get what i want most of the time. i really can't ask for more.

but life has also threw some things right smacked in my face. incidents when i've asked myself, or asked the higher being up there. why me? like seriously. why must it be me? i am not complaining and i don't plan to, despite all the trouble and hussle i am or had been faced with. because such things are definitely incomparable to those who are faced with larger problems, such setbacks will only make me view life through a very different perspective - all this so-called cliched things like value your family, friends and what you have, it's really true. life is very unpredictable and humans are fragile. anything can happen at anytime and anywhere. for one minute we know we're all up and alive the other we're down with some illness.

on the other hand, things like leading a certain kind of lifestyle that is deemed as healthy may appear/seem to be some kind of fallacy because sometimes it just doesn't work out. but what i've been through in this short span of 19years has definitely made me a more optimistic and a much stronger person inside.

it's all about balance isn't it. i guess my world can't always be perfect and smooth-sailing eh? really can't expect too much. lol.
there's much more to life i've yet to experience and lessons i've yet to learn. it's still a long road ahead of me.
so this is all part of growing up? hmm.
we all have our own problems don't we?

shit i sounded abit emo. but nvm, i'm all estatic now because HARRY POTTER IS RELEASED TODAY!!! wooot! Daniel Radcliffe's birthday is in ELEVEN days time TOOOO! (*HINT HINT* my friends! :D)

my weekend.

2007-07-07T23:04:00.000+08:00

Friday - 06/07/07

i went to Vivo to collect the movie tickets my dad booked. and so i met Ellyne there as well since she was intending to buy her $123 dress from River Island. we had nothing better to do after all the shopping so we went to take the new monorail to Sentosa, toured around for about half an hr and then took the monorail back to Vivo. LOL. serious we were like tourists snapping photos here and there at Sentosa. we were first-timers on the monorail anyway!

i must say i am very annoyed. i think things from River Island, their clothes in particular are sooo freaking NICE! but they cost a BOMB! and i mean really costly! to the extent i feel a piece of garment ain't worth that much money. there's this nice white blouse and black shorts i tried and loved them to bits but they cost $69 and $95 respectively! ermmmm. hahahah! i'm so so sad! ):

Saturday - 07/07/07

i watched Transformers with my daddy in the morning. oh gosh. ultimate coolness! the yellow Chevrolet car (Bumblebee) is soo nice! Autobots vs Decepticons. the effects were brilliant too. i think my dad enjoyed the show as well, which i'm glad he did. i caught Spiderman with him too since he loves such movies. it's rather rare to watch movies with my dad but it's okay if it makes him happy! moreover, he pays for the tickets. hahahah.

late afternoon i drove to Changi Airport! ooh how exciting to travel the whole ECP for the first time! with my parents in the car too of course. my dad took over the car once i reached the airport. i went to send the golden couple, Claire & Andy off with some of the councillors and class people. the airport was surprisingly crowded tonight i wonder why. hmm. but thats not the point. it wasn't a very emotional goodbye. i didn't cry buckets though i still cried. i tried so hard to keep my composure until when they were about to leave & we had a group hug. omg. the council girls started crying then. i can see James was trying to stay cool. HAHAH. and Andy cried too! surprisingly more than Claire i guess. lol! thats funny. Andy's brother cried buckets. it was so rush we didn't even get a chance to take a group photo with them! ):

but i guess i'm more of happy for them than sad. for i know they'll be back in no time if they manage to come back in December. it's quite fun actually. they're leaving on their own with no parents to Australia! lol. there goes my mahjong kahkee who always throw the tile for me to game and win his money ):

all the times we've had are nothing but sweet sweet memories.

the right choice!

2007-07-06T23:49:00.000+08:00

WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
created with QuizFarm.com

i'm pretty relieved after taking this quiz. it further confirms that i'm cut out for Science, Biology in particular and that i haven't made the wrong choice in what i'm going to major in. and the Other Language may just well be Chinese! coupled with Education! which was what MOE first offered me. lol. quite accurate indeed!

tmr's Live Earth day! i'm going to wear Green to the airport to send Claire & Andy off. OMG. it's really going to be sad! ):

07/07/07 - it's also SE7EN day tmr. HAHAH

I've Got Mail!

2007-07-03T23:00:00.000+08:00

my photocard driving licence arrived via registered mail today!

the stupid postwoman knocked on my door and called out "CHAN JIN HUI" (where's the SHERLYNN?! urgh) so loudly i think my neighbours would have heard and know my name la. she could've just used the doorbell button on the right hand side. lol.

but whatever. what the mail holds is definitely more important than neighbours knowing my name. woohooo!

it's a good thing that my parents are having more and more confidence & trust in my driving, especially my dad. i share his stress when i first started to drive but i guess it's starting to lessen by the days. plus i can park without poles now. i think he's slightly impressed. heh.

serxing once told me "omg you're such a mummy's girl!"
come to think of it, i certainly am not just a mummy's girl, i'm a daddy's girl too. and i'm proud of it. i'm most fortunate to have them as my parents really.

Friday & Saturday

2007-07-01T23:36:00.000+08:00

Friday

i met up with Ellyne & Shuqi since Ellyne said she saved a piece of brownie she baked for me. lol. it was a nice catch-up session and okay we shopped! hahah. Ellyne's camera wasn't really put into good use since we didn't really camwhore. oh well.

PHOTOTIP: Vivocity's toilets are very suitable if you wanna get shots with good lightings, a large mirror, and nice mosaic patterns. but of course, remember block the unsightly toilet bowls! LOL.

Saturday

i met Cais, Huis, James, Lari, Claire and Andy at Orchard for our supposedly "dinner ONLY". and then we used the excuse of playing to go to Andy's place. where Andy & Claire found themselves pleasantly surprised because it was all part of the plan of their farewell party to lure them out so preparations can take place at his place. hahahah. SUCCESS!

the party was awesome. haven't seen some of the councillors in the longest time! it was initially really chaotic with everyone 'ahhh!' here and 'OMG!' there. and tons of catching up was going on. food of course was good.. company was best. though it's a shame people like Kenneth Yoong & YongHwee couldn't be there cuz they're stuck in SAFTI for their 3weeks confinement. but still it was a blast.

i'll upload the pictures some other day. or rather after i've gotten the other photos from Cais & Huis or whoever has them cuz those taken on my phone weren't very clear.

it's that nostalgic feeling. when everybody gathers and talks. i miss ):
it'll really be a sad affair sending Andy & Claire off next week. i'll miss them.

what's more! Andy's place won't be available to us for gathering anymore! the only place to have crazy gatherings without parents. LOL.

Harry Potter & The Future

2007-06-26T22:35:00.000+08:00

i've finished reading Harry Potter & Order Of The Phoenix! quite an action-packed book i must say. though certain chapters still bore me to sleep. i'm so looking forward for the movie to be out! Daniel Radcliffe. woohoo! he's really bloody gorgeous. what to do. 23rd July babies! LOL.

there's a mystery to be solved. who took my friend test and scored 37% and named him/herself hel h?! initially i thought it was Claire but apparently it's not her! :/

in another month or so, University School Semester 1 is going to start. it's soo fast! i can't imagine myself as a uni student. i can't BELIEVE that i am already that old, or to put it in a nicer way, matured. and time definitely waits for no man. in another say 4years? everybody will graduate and we'll be working adults! there're many times when i just start stoning on my bed at night wondering what i would be like, what my friends would be like, what i would be doing, who would i be with and so many other matters concerning the future. and though i know and hope things would eventually all fall into place as time goes but i can't help worrying abt the future. it's a sad fact we can only go forward and not backwards sometimes. if only we can replay certain scenes in our lives. relive the happiest days. correct certain mistakes i've made. and of course do the things i should've done and not regret. and the fact that we can only go forward and look back makes no room for any major blunders/mistakes that could bring the greatest regret in life.

the future sure freaks me out.

and considering everyone has different ambitions/aims in life, we're all going in very different directions. some are going overseas, like Andy & Claire who're leaving for Australia next weekend. some are going different local universities. and even though we're still trapped in this little red dot (sadly but yes. urgh!) it means many friendships are going to be put to the test. with ongoing campus life and stuff, i'm really afraid of losing my good or even closest friends. all i can do it to make an effort to keep in contact and keep our friendships going.

how we'll look like and what we'll be like in future is something i'm quite looking forward to see. 5years down the road, Everything is going to be soooooo different.

sing it.

2007-06-20T22:17:00.000+08:00

right now i feel like singing this though it's lame.

(and i think Sua will be woohoo-ing too. LOL)

if you're happy and you know it say 'woohoo!'
if you're happy and you know it say 'woohoo!'
if you're happy and you know it,
and you really wanna show it,
if you're happy and you know it say 'woohoo!'

WOOHOO!

i'm so happy. i didn't fail because i wasn't affected when Sua said i was ugly. wahahah.
(urgh, forget it. i will never outspeak you. HAHAH)
hellooooo Sua, Ugly is the New Beautiful okay? :p

ahhh!

2007-06-18T22:05:00.000+08:00

ZERO left.

and because Sua booked an extra revision lesson on that morning itself plus it's too early for me so we can't go with our plan of having breakfast together. yeee. we shall have to postpone it till another XSS meeting. lol.

omg i'm so excited! but everything's so unpredictable so i'm just hoping for the best! (:

thank goodness!

2007-06-16T22:31:00.001+08:00

thank goodness. Windows Live is working well right now. i'm really relieved.

random but i think Daniel Radcliffe is damn cute. lol. & he has the same birthday as me! wahahah.

ahh.

2007-06-15T22:12:00.000+08:00

[edit] my old MSN 7.5 just got hit by a virus. shit. i had to uninstall it. do a thorough virus scan and all. and now i'm stuck with Windows Messenger. urgh crap. i'll have to try MSN Live and see. so annoying!! [/edit]

just ONE more to go! :/

and i realised i left tons of regrets in Japan. really. there were many things which i thought were unneccessary/unsuitable then so i ended up not buying. and now i'm back here. looking at Singapore's fashion and hating myself for not getting this, not getting that when i was in Japan. AHHH! ):

a small market like Singapore is really disadvantageous. so limited designs. people will start buying and wearing the same thing. yee. and some things are so nice online yet when it's after adding the shipping costs and all it's so expensive. bloody hell.

i'm soooo sad.

say goodbye.

2007-06-14T22:13:00.000+08:00

last night was the LAST episode of Arts Central's - Planet Earth! ):
so sad. i'm proud to say i'm such a loyal viewer i've never skipped a single episode of it. muahaha. but it's really too nice to not watch it. it's just plain amazing. now i've no more of such nice documentaries to watch on wed nights ):

and know what. i really CANNOT WAIT for the Harry Potter & Order Of The Phoenix movie to be out!! to think it'll be released in s'pore on July 12th instead of 13th, which is the date it'll premiere in many other countries. don't ask me why s'pore got this privilege but that rocks.

but anyway July 13th. it's a pretty significant day to me. not only is it the birthday of my dad, 1 year ago i was part of the 28th Student Council Stepping Down Ceremony running a freaking high fever of 39deg! we were in long sleeves and blazers somemore! for the very last time though. many girls started crying even before the ceremony started when the video was screened. it was really a sight and an event i'll always remember.

i love and miss council.

sucks.

2007-06-12T22:46:00.001+08:00

damn the stomach flu that made me suffer hell yesterday ):

TWO more to go! how exciting!

hmm.

2007-06-08T23:03:00.000+08:00

i think the GSS ain't that fantastic. i didn't get a single item from the sale! i got what i wanted/needed at some sale even BEFORE the GSS and the stuff i wanna get now are not on sale. urgh. they should just call GSS a Clearance Sale instead of Great Singapore Sale. it's not great at all! nono. i'm so disappointed.

woohoo. THREE more to go! (:

tinch of excitement.

2007-06-05T23:12:00.000+08:00

i've started reading the book i borrowed from my cousin.
the 766 pages of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix!
my habit of reading the book first before watching the movie.
anyway the book is niceee!
haven't got my hands on For One More Day by Mitch Albom though ):
anybody has it and is willing to lend it to me?
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows will be out soon. if my cousin gets it i will borrow it from him again. wahahah.

how exciting.
excluding tmr, FIVE more to go.

i really miss such days. but we will never get to go back to days like these anymore ):

random.

2007-06-02T00:05:00.000+08:00

Readers Discretion: Disgusting Photo

today i found out abt the VERY secluded pool place in Queenstown Golf Club which charges only $6/hr and TONS of tables to choose from because it's like a ghost town & it's situated just beside Queenstown Prison. lol.

and i also found out that my uncle's actually a very good pool player. cool man.

i wonder if i'm lacking in some sort of vitamin. my hair is growing at snail speed. or tortoise speed. whichever is slower. HAHAH. urgh! ): when will it EVER grow to my desired length. patience my dear. patience.

i specially went to buy extra large plasters for the amazing race tmr. how exciting!

lastly, see how my little two friends are doing after 2days. they will accompany me on the amazing race tmr.. how nice. there's one in the shape of a heart i realise. lol.

POTC 3

2007-05-31T00:32:00.000+08:00

thought it wasn't really fantastic afterall. for entertainment i guess it's still worth a watch because we were practically laughing throughout half the movie. Captain Jack Sparrow is freakin funny. and i thought we were the noisest bunch! lol. we were practically asking each other questions abt the movie and all. HAHAH. damn. that's cause i didn't manage to get hold of POTC 1 & 2 dvds as they were all out on rent. urgh. anyway ellyne pangseh-ed us (must let the whole world know. LOL) after the movie when she coincidentally met some of her band friends. and this explains why the following pictures don't have her in them.

tell me, if a picture paints a thousand words, how many would these paint? it's definitely more than 2000words because the friendship & bond we share is so special it can't be expressed in words

my fellow secondary classmate & my future NUS-FoS schoolmate. YAY!

these IJ girls are my loves (:

and let me show you the disgusting & painful blister i have on my left heel from my heels.. it hurts like *tooooot*!

melt.

2007-05-29T00:32:00.000+08:00

i still can't find that song! the first song he sang in the video! AHH!
it's quite pathetic to keep going youtube to listen to the song. hahah.
anybody uses Limewire (i know it's illegal :X) or has that song pls let me knowww! ):
he dances and sings Live which is what makes me like him. and probably other Korean singers or any singer who sings doesn't lip-sync. i respect them.
woohoo.

and i'm looking forward to wednesday when i'll be meeting collen, yingli and ellyne. yayy.

why like that.

2007-05-26T22:36:00.000+08:00

bloody hell. i opened the letterbox today only to find myself in a dilemma at the end of the day. NIE/NTU gave me this teaching scholarship/award as a secondary science teacher when they interviewed me for teaching chinese the last time. and MOE's going to pay for the full fees of the 4yr course and i get money every month during the first two years of study alsooo! and i'll be bonded to be a teacher for 4years. WTH! it's so attractive. free study. get salary as a student and i've a job waiting for me at the end of the day. why not.

but i think i will still stick with my NUS choice eventually. because i really don't wanna plunge into a profession that i'm really not confident in sticking to it for the rest of my life. being a teacher is no easy task (not like any other job is la) but seriously, i wouldn't wanna regret my choice just for the money ): so sad but yarh. and in any way if i realise that i wanna teach i can still do it after getting my life sciences degree at NUS or after a few years of lab work. right?

HAIX. so yeah i think i will give up this offer very reluctantly ):

anyway, i'm craving for doughnuts from Donut Factory. anybody want to queue for me? HAHAHAH.

i like!

i looooove this song! but i don't have it because i can't find it. i'm so sad i can only listen to it on Youtube. lol. anybody who has this song please send it to meeeee! *pitiful look* hahah. i'm still finding it.

ANYWAY, i've decided to do the 6 weird things about me since Ellyne tagged me looong ago and i haven't done it. so here goes!

1. i loooove Durian Cream Puffs & Durian Cakes but i don't like to eat the fruit by itself.

2. i adore Korean actors & singers but i'd prefer Japanese language & Culture. in fact i'm damn happy because my mummy has this "Learn Jap" book so i'm self-learning basic conversational jap now. i actually learnt Hiragana already. wahooo!

3. sometimes i'd like a game of Sudoku before i go to bed. it makes my brain tired enough to sleeep. heh.

4. i like to take the long way (aka walking along the main road) to get to Queensway Shopping Centre or Ikea with my iPod on although it takes me only 2minutes if i go by Ikea's Back Entrance.

5. i usually like to paint my fingernails and not my toenails.

6. i loooove the iced milk tea from MOS BURGER, without milk. (ie. plain teh-o) HAHAH.

so are they weird enough?

happy belated mothers' day.

2007-05-19T23:16:00.000+08:00

well well, jingx said i should update my blog. so here it is! lol.

anyway i went to Hotel Rendezvous with my dad's side for belated mothers' day dinner just now! woahh it was super sinful and the spread was rather good. whats the best is that they had this dark chocolate fondue fountain running so my cousin and i kept going back to that for dessert! HEAVEN! the dinner also served a very good purpose of catching up with cousins i don't get to see for months too. heh.

okay i know the chocolate-coated stuff looks quite gross. we were greedy so we coated the whole thing with chocolate. HAHAH but you know, chocolate is kinda irresistable (:

that was what i wore to the dinner. lol. i'm sorry i'm so zilian :X

i think the mirror is the next coolest thing in my room apart from the windows :D

on a side note, meet my prince. HAHAH.

jingx said he looked damn qian bian. since when la! he's sooo damn cute! i think korean dramas are a bad influence to me. it tends to make me raise the expectations of a perfect boyfriend. it's true! LOL.

set.

2007-05-14T23:30:00.000+08:00

anyway, i've made my choice. i've chosen my path. it's done.
and i'm pretty sure i won't regret my choice.

now i have a goal! i must work doubly hard when i'm in there not only to get an Honours but also be eligible for their SEP (Student Exchange Programme) in my 2nd year. damn. i want it!

and just thought i should add in this part of the convo i had with ellyne. lol!

Ellyne the Great says: u're such a sciency person
CHAN MALI CHAN!™ says: am i sciency? actually i think so

wahahah. come to think of it. i've really been doing science my whole life. and i can foresee more of it. wonder why when i was young i used to have the impression that those who do science are geeky. what crap! now i guess i've to admit that i'm quite a geek too then. hahah!

the best thing is i'll be free from GP. so hooray to that! :D

from science drive to nanyang drive.

2007-05-12T23:05:00.000+08:00

and again,

make new friends but keep the old.
these are silver those are gold.

i still love my secondary school mates.
for i know they'll always be there.
sometimes it makes me wonder. is two years really enough?
for some cases yes. but probably not for the rest.

it's not for love. it's all for donuts!

2007-05-08T22:48:00.000+08:00

Jing Xiu and I went on our long-postponed expedition at 10am today.

Commonwealth MRT -> Bedok Bus Interchange (196) -> Marine Terrace -> Underpass -> East Coast Park -> City Hall

it lasted for a whole of EIGHT HOURS and i am EXHAUSTED!
we were lucky to find the underpass to East Coast quite quickly and we got the BEST rate ever! $5 for 2Bikes, 2hours & free 2 bottles of water.
been ages since i cycled. feels gooooood! (:

i'm so proud of myself (and jingxiu too!) because WE QUEUED FOR DONUTS FROM DONUT FACTORY! and we got them. woohoooo! it took us TWO HOURS to get that box of donuts. oh goodness. but we were there at a weird timing so i guess the queue wasn't that torturous. some of the aunties were telling us that they've queued FIVE HOURS just for the donuts! afterall it's all worth it. i get to try the donuts and i must say they are good. yummm. i guess i'll eventually go back for more. it's only when as each time is really straining. both mentally & physically. the Never-Give-Up spirit for STUPID donuts that taste so good. but it's pure satisfaction. I REGRETTED NOT GETTING A DOZEN ):

shall leave a few photos.

Spidey was awesome! especially when i watched it in 4K digital. clear as crystal. woohoo. Harry Osborn was so cute. but he died. WHY.. ): lol.

life is filled with choices.
and it's these choices which make us who we are.
ultimately, the greatest battle lies within.

especially appropriate at this point in time when everyone's thinking of which path they wanna take, which university to accept and all :D

i'm so sad i tried renewing Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club at Queenstown Library this afternoon and i can't because apparently books are only allowed to renew once only ): ahh it was the last book i'm reading out of the 4 i borrowed and i'm only half way through it! tried to find it in Queenstown Library but they don't have it. urghhh! i concluded Orchard Library has more new books. hahah.

anyway i had Mothers' Day dinner in advance with my mum's side today. since it coincides with my cousin's 11th birthday tmr, we bought her a cake to cut. lol!

100th post!

2007-05-02T12:32:00.000+08:00

this is my HUNDREDTH POST for blogspot! muahaha.
i guess i'm starting to get used to using blogspot after my diary-x crashed. damn.

ANYWAY, I LOVE WEDNESDAYS!
because my favourite documentary is showing tonight!
it's called Planet Earth. it's the most expensive documentary ever made and i can understand why after watching it. they get to places where people don't or can't go, even explorers. and they find & film the most amazing and bizzare things on Earth which you don't even know exist! Planet Earth really has wonders. last week was on Caves & this week's on Deserts.
for that 1hour show i'm willing to give up my 3hours of computer. lol!
but well i guess not everybody will like it la. it's a documentary afterall. it may be boring for some of you.
if you wanna catch it, it's on Arts Central every Wednesday 10pm (:

sianded.

2007-04-30T23:09:00.000+08:00
